The transverse positioning member 42 is installed at a designated position in the plate surface of the mounting seat body 11, and the working surface for contacting the box frame 22 is protruded relative to the plate surface of the mounting seat body 11, and the box frame 22 can be placed just from the transverse positioning member 42 to the guide supporting frame 3. As an example, the lateral positioning member 42 may be fixed to a specified position in the plate surface of the mount body 11 by using a screw, and the outer working surface of the lateral positioning member 42 is used as the inner reference surface of the mount. The space between the outer working surface of the transverse positioning member 42 and the working surface of the guide support frame 3 needs to be ensured to exactly bear the automatic butt joint box body 2.
In this embodiment, in order to increase the size of the space between the mounting base 1 and the guide supporting frame 3 and reduce the weight and volume of the mounting base 1, the mounting base body 11 may take a plate-like structure, and a plurality of weight-reducing holes for reducing the weight may be provided on the plate surface of the mounting base body 11, and mounting holes for mounting components are further provided on the plate surface of the mounting base body 11.

In some embodiments, one implementation manner that the positioning pin 43 and the edging positioning pin 44 respectively penetrate through two positioning holes reserved by the supporting block 12 and the mounting seat body 11 and are fixedly connected to the mounting seat body 11 is that after the positioning pin 43 and the edging positioning pin 44 respectively penetrate through two positioning holes reserved by the supporting block 12 and the mounting seat body 11, the upper end surfaces of the two supporting blocks 12 can be respectively used as upper positioning rabbets of the positioning pin 43 and the edging positioning pin 44, and the positioning pin 43 and the edging positioning pin 44 are fixedly connected with the mounting seat body 11 of the docking system through screws, flat gaskets and elastic gaskets. As an example, the spacing between the locating pins 43 and the chamfered locating pins 44 should be consistent with the pitch of the holes defined in the automatic docking box 2. The purpose of the trimming positioning pin 44 in this embodiment is to ensure absolute accuracy of the transverse positioning of the automatic docking box 2, and to properly relax the machining accuracy requirement for the automatic docking box 2 in the longitudinal direction, which is beneficial to improving the manufacturability and adaptability of the whole machining and manufacturing of the automatic docking and supplying device.
The distance between the longitudinal positioning piece 41 and the guide supporting frame 3 in this embodiment is greater than the distance between the mounting seat body 11 and the guide supporting frame 3, so that the automatic butt joint box body 2 can be initially guided to enter a material supplementing area formed by the mounting seat 1 and the guide supporting frame 3, at this time, the distance between the longitudinal positioning piece 41 and the guide supporting frame 3 is greater than the width of the automatic butt joint box body 2, and when the automatic butt joint box body 2 is positioned in the material supplementing area, the width is perpendicular to the board surface of the mounting seat body 11. In some embodiments, the longitudinal positioning member 41 is a plate-like structure with a slope and a plane in transitional connection, and the portion of the longitudinal positioning member 41 provided with the plane is close to and mounted on the longitudinal guiding positioning plate mounting seat 13, so that the case frame 22 can slide down along the slope toward the substance supplementing area. In this embodiment, the longitudinal positioning member 41 includes a slope body with a slope surface and a plane body with a plane surface, where the slope surface is in excess connection with the plane surface in the slope body, so that the automatic docking box 2 enters along the slope body first when entering the material replenishing area, and can perform rough and buffering guiding on the automatic docking box 2, and when the automatic docking box 2 is released, the automatic docking box can slowly fall into the material replenishing area along the slope body by self gravity. In order to more precisely fall into the specified position in the substance supplying area, in this embodiment, the lateral positioning member 42 is installed at the specified position in the panel surface of the mount body 11, and the outer surface of the lateral positioning member 42 is higher than the panel surface of the mount body, that is, the working surface for contacting the box frame 22 is protruded with respect to the panel surface of the mount body 11, and the difference between the distance of the lateral positioning member 42 to the guide support frame 3 and the width of the box frame 22 is within a preset range, which is greater than or equal to 0, less than or equal to a set value, which may be an empirical value, which may be ensured by machining, so that the automatically docking box 2 is positioned exactly at the lateral positioning member 42 under the self-weight drop. In other embodiments, the lateral positioning member 42 may be a plate-like structure provided with a slope so that the case frame 22 may slide down the slope into the material replenishment region, wherein the minimum distance between the slope of the lateral positioning member 42 and the guide support frame 3 is the width of the case frame 22. The application of the transverse positioning member 42 provided by the present embodiment can more accurately position the automatic docking box 2 at a specified position.
In order to guide the automatic docking box 2 to be placed in the transverse positioning member 42 more precisely, as shown in fig. 2, the guide support frame 3 includes a support frame 31 and a transverse guide member 32, the support frame 31 is mounted on the mounting base body 11 and is used for bearing the automatic docking box 2, and the transverse guide member 32 is mounted on the end portion of the support frame 31 so as to guide the automatic docking box 2 to fall into a material supplementing area between the mounting base body 11 and the support frame 31. The transverse guide 32 of the present embodiment approaches the automatic docking box 2 relative to the supporting frame 31, so as to avoid that the automatic docking box 2 deviates from the material replenishing area in the transverse direction and falls into other areas, and serves to guide and limit the automatic docking box 2 to deviate from the material replenishing area in the transverse direction and guide the automatic docking box 2 to fall into the material replenishing area. As an example, the transverse guide 32 may be welded to the supporting frame 31, so as to ensure that the dimension between the positioning surfaces of the transverse guide 32 and the dimension between the abutment surfaces of the automatic docking box 2 adjacent to the transverse guide 32 are consistent, and when the automatic docking box 2 enters the working range of the transverse guide 32 through the guidance of the longitudinal positioning member 41 and the transverse guide positioning component, namely the positioning pin 43 and the edging positioning pin 44, the automatic docking box 2 can be precisely guided. When the transverse guide 32 acts, the automatic butt joint box body 2 also enters the working range of the positioning pin 43 and the edging positioning pin 44, and the technical requirements of accurate guiding and positioning are met. Accurate positioning is achieved, and the position consistency of the module can be ensured to be replaced for a plurality of times. In practical application, the guiding and positioning assembly 4 of the embodiment completes coarse guiding and positioning and fine guiding and positioning of the automatic butt joint box body 2 by using various guiding and positioning measures in relay, so that in practical application, the guiding and positioning precision is improved by 10mm from 50mm to 1mm again, and the precision after installation butt joint is locked is not more than 0.1mm.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2-5, the lateral guide 32 comprises at least two plate structures, and each plate structure is mounted on an end of the support frame 31 from large to small along the direction prescribed by the support frame 31 at a distance from the mounting base body 11. In this embodiment, at least two plate-like structures are provided for the purpose of uniformly defining the lateral deviation of the automatic docking box 2 from the mount body 11 in the longitudinal direction, and for the purpose of avoiding rollover due to uneven stress of the supporting force of the lateral guide 32 acting on the automatic docking box 2. As an embodiment, the at least two plate-shaped structures can be welded on the outer side of the mounting seat body 11, and the space between the plate-shaped structures and the middle of the mounting seat body 11 is ensured to be consistent with the working width of the automatic butt joint box body 2 and used for roughly guiding the transverse position of the automatic butt joint box body 2, and in practical application, the automatic butt joint box body 2 firstly roughly enters the area where the plate-shaped structures with large distance with the mounting seat body 11 are located in the process of freely falling into the material supplementing area so as to accurately fall into the material supplementing area when the plate-shaped structures are guided.
